The naturally spiritual mindset!

As a thoughtful, spiritual person, perhaps a Buddhist, and/or meditator, your mind naturally turns toward more spiritual subjects. You probably have experienced having lunch with a friend talking about cars or other things but soon you have driven the conversation toward spirituality. It is without planning it that way because that is just how your mind operates; your conversation naturally migrates toward more inner interests. DGR

Als nachdenklicher, spiritueller Mensch (vielleicht bist Du Buddhist und/oder meditierst) wendet sich Dein Geist ganz natürlich mehr spirituellen Themen zu. Du hast wahrscheinlich schon erlebt, wie beim Mittagessen ein Freund über Autos oder andere Dinge spricht und Du die Unterhaltung sehr bald auf ein spirituelles Thema gelenkt hast. Ohne dass Du es so geplant hättest - Dein Geist funktioniert einfach auf diese Weise. Die Unterhaltung wandert ganz natürlich auf innerlichere Interessen zu. DGR

This trains us to share our cultivated joy and not simply hold it as a personal possession. The second of the Great Wishes strong

Buddhist musings for springtime........

Two explanations of the same innate view Classic Buddhism describes the innate view as the error of taking what is transitory and impermanent as permanent. All suffering arises from this misknowledge. However, I have expanded this description to understand that the innate view also bestows a full but minimum set of perceptions that are needed to allow the transmigrating consciousness of a to-be-hu man to participate within the human realm. After the breakthrough of enlightenment, aware practitioners will not discard the minimal basic and now purified innate view but will mold it skillfully into a correct conventional view. Same innate view but a non-Buddhist explanation-- Within the deeper mind of every individual person are several carefully constructed base perceptions that must be present in order for them to participate in their human potential development within the human realm. We cannot damage our perceptions by pretending the world is not there, or that we are not here, in ord
